Nella vita di Fra Bartolommeo
Tutta la vita1496
Becomes a follower of Savonarola
In 1496, moved by the sermons of Girolamo Savonarola, who denounced the vanity of secular art, Baccio became one of his followers, the piagnoni, and twice, in 1496 and 1497, took part in the “bonfire of the vanities” on the Piazza della Signoria, where secular works of art were destroyed.
26 July 1500
Becomes a Dominican friar
On 26 July 1500 Baccio della Porta became a Dominican friar and renounced painting for several years. The following year he entered the convent of San Marco in Florence (by other accounts he became a friar of San Marco already in 1500).
1504
Returns to painting as head of the convent workshop
In 1504, at the request of Fra Lucchese Santi Pagnini, later the prior, Fra Bartolomeo obeyed his superior and resumed painting for the benefit of his order as head of the convent workshop.
1504
Friendship with the young Raphael
In 1504 the young Raphael arrived in Florence and befriended Fra Bartolomeo: the friar learned perspective from the younger artist, while Raphael learned colouring and the handling of drapery from him. Their friendship lasted for the rest of their lives.
1514
To Rome to see the work of Michelangelo and Raphael
In 1514 (by other accounts 1513) Fra Bartolomeo went to Rome to see the new works of Michelangelo and Raphael and was so impressed that he lost his self-confidence and hurried back to Florence. In Rome he painted a Peter and Paul (now in the Pinacoteca Vaticana), and on leaving he placed two unfinished pictures in Raphael’s hands, which Raphael completed.
